Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello! Here are the steps to add your Blink camera/doorbell to your Echo Show: 1. Enabling Blink Smarthome Skill: Open the Alexa app, tap the curtain menu in the lower right-hand corner, and select "Skills & Games." 2. Search for "Blink SmartHome", then select the Skill. Tap "ENABLE TO USE" and you are sent to the Link Account Sign In page. 3. Enter the email address and password of your Blink account. You are also asked to create a 4-digit pin code for Alexa to provide functions requiring enhanced security. Then tap the Sign In button. 4. The Alexa app communicates with Blink account servers, detects devices, and then displays a message saying, "Your Blink SmartHome has been successfully linked." 5. Tap CLOSE, and you are shown the Discover Devices screen. Note that your devices may have already been discovered, but it is safer to attempt discovery again. Tap Discover Devices. 6. After about 45 seconds, the Setup screen appears informing you that devices have been found and connected with the Blink SmartHome Skill. Tap "choose device" to begin setting one up. Note: Occasionally, the app message will say that no new devices were discovered. In that case, tap the Devices icon on lower right of the screen for a list of known devices. 7. The Cameras screen shows your discovered devices. Note: Alexa has its own feature named "Live view" and indicates if your camera can use it. Since Blink cameras have their own Live View feature, the Alexa app shows you have a Blink camera that does not support Alexa Live view. Hope this helps!
